FutureB-
The Dolphins let Holker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Dallin Holker, the No. 150 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 6, Pick 9.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
The cost of the Tupuola-Fetui reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The veteran additions, Josh Myers chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
No drama and no debate, Kris Jenkins went about where he belonged in the 45th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59
Rnd2
Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 59 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Javon Baker
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Baker at slot 88, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in pick No. 123, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Good price on Josh Newton in No. 126, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick127
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A tidy little value on Theo Johnson in the 127th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128
Rnd4
James Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Williams in the Round 4 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168
Rnd5
Kalen King
They barely believed it either: Kalen King still on the board at the 168th pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick175
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They robbed the room for Luke McCaffrey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184
Rnd6
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick No. 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at Round 6, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 186th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They paid up for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 198 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226
Rnd7
Eric Watts
They paid sticker price for Eric Watts in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
